RE: How well will this engine work
Hi here is the specks on this plane. Thinking about using poly u for covering whitch will make plane littie heaver. I have a F6F Hellcat with a G20 in it it fit fine under the cowl. Also where can I find a good price on retracts for this plane I found a few forums on this plane for building help but none with a gas engine. I wat told that this plane was tail heavy with glow engines, instead of adding lead I will just add little heaver engine.
Thanks for all the help
